Gingerbread Everything and FREEBIE for this week ONLY

We decided to make Gingerbread men but our cookies will be have decided to leave our school. Our Gingerbread men will be traveling all the way to Rockwall, Texas to Mrs. Beasley's class. In order for her students to determine whose cookie belongs to whom we must pay attention to the details as we write to her class describing our Gingerbread. We reviewed adjectives to make sure that we write using words that will create a clear, picture in our reader's mind.

Look at these little cuties!! There's not a doubt in my mind that their writing will be just a creative and detailed. We will be writing tomorrow. EEEKK!

Before math today we read The Gingerbread Baby and discussed the kind of Gingerbread house we would create for him. The only problem was they had to use base 10 blocks AND they had to be able to tell the NUMBER that they used. Look at some of these super cute homes for the baby.

A little math fun for everyone has kept us busy this week too.

You can pick these up this week for FREE at my tpt store.

Behavior that Makes Cents!

I've decided for this next school year to implement $$ into my behavior clip chart. Our school has certain colors and points that they want us to use and deduct from each child's conduct grade based on the child's color/conduct clip. So each year I jazz up my color chart BUT this year I'm implementing Coins.......get it???!!! Behavior that Makes Cents!! Okay.......this is how it will work in my classroom. Each day the students will stamp their behavior calendar with a coin stamp based on our color chart. For example, black will be used for a quarter because black is considered exceptional behavior throughout the day. They will use a green stamp for dimes, yellow stamp for nickels, and a red stamp for a penny. Although, I rarely have color changes, I truly feel like this will motivate them to not only KNOW their coins but be able to add them up. They will NEED to know how much they have in order to spend their money on Friday. ...

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!! I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It. {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready. That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process. {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this: I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding). I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander. Super powerful. I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!! A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....

All Things Techy...and FREE

Well ya'll, I have so many wonderful things going on in the classroom and it's all things techy. I cannot wait to share a few of them with you. If you haven't stopped by our class blog then you should. { Mrs. Kirby's Kid's Blog } These authentic pieces of writing just make me so stinkin' happy. I constantly check my email throughout the weekend to see if they have written anything. Not because I told them to but because they want to. (insert happy teacher dance right here) I took my very first student bloggers to the school board and they told our school board what a blog is and why they think it's important. I gave each one of the kids that presented a small journal, sticky notes and pens to write their ideas about things they'd like to blog about. This is what their journals look like 2 days later.... These kids cannot get enough!! Look at all their THOUGHTS... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Look at...
